EUSTACE BERTRAM TIMOTHY (1861 - 1892) & AGNES
JELLEY (Abt 1860 - ??)

Eustace Bertram was the third child and second son
of Peter Vincent Timothy and Elizabeth Hutchings and was the only child to
be born in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire. Nothing much more is known, but he
was a Naval Architect, and also said to be the Vice Commodore of Englands
leading Yacht Club. He married Agnes Jelley on the 14th February 1884 at
St Alphage (St Mary's) Greenwich, Kent when he was 22 and Agnes was 24.
There were three children. Vivian Bertram, Aubrey Cyril and Nina.
1881 census shows him to be in lodgings in Barrow in Furness
(then Lancs. now Cumbria) ** 65 Mount Pleasant, Barrow in Furness, Lancs.,
England he is recorded as aged 19, a Lodger and Apprentice to Naval
Architect (there is A Naval Architect listed at the same address - Neil C
F Jochumson aged 30 and born in Denmark so he may have been an apprentice
to him)

Their daughter Nina Irene Grace was not recorded in the Census so was born
some time after this.

He died intestate on the 20 May 1892 at 5 Derwent
Terrace, Upper Chorlton Road, Stretford, Manchester, the address given
also by the informant, his father Dr. Peter Vincent Timothy, who may have
been staying there as the Medical Directories list him as being in Wigan
in 1992, but the doctor who was in attendance was F. Hervey Jones M.D.

He was buried in the same grave in the Southern Cemetery, as his mother
Elizabeth Timothy, on 24 May 11892, his residence given as Upper Chorlton
Road, Stretford, aged 30, Architect, married.

His personal estate was granted to Agnes, his widow,
and was valued at £ 90 and was recorded on the 23rd June 1892. (for detail
see file) For details of first or third children, see Laurel Merritt's
letter dated 8/6/1996 which refers to: "... leaving a young widow with
three children......" Agnes left for Australia with the children in about
1892/3 and may have re-married, probably in Australia.

She is thought to have travelled on the ORATAVA or
ORIZABA but no record has been traced. Two children were born to a Agnes
Timothy, Abert H G Timothy, born 1900 at Leichharat, NSW and Agnes R M
Timothy, born 1901 also at Leichhharat, but there is no certainty that
this is the right Agnes Timothy though I am told that there was no father
named.

VIVIAN BERTRAM TIMOTHY (Abt 1887 - ??)

First son of Eustace Bertram Timothy and Agnes
Jelley. Nothing further known, but emigrated to Australia with his mother,
brother, sister in the1890's after his fathers death in 1892. It is said
that he died comparatively young.

AUBREY CYRIL TIMOTHY (1889 - 1961 ) AND ELIZABETH
MYRTLE GUY

Aubrey Cyril, the second child and second son of
Eustace Bertram Timothy and Agnes Jelley. was born on the 20 May1889 at
Wivenhoe and the birth was registered on the 24 July by his father in the
Lexden and Winstree registration district of Wivenhoe, Essex. He emigrated
to Australia with his mother, brother, sister in the 1890's after his
fathers death in 1892. He died on the 3 September 1961 in Gosford, New
South Wales, Australia.

After the death of his father at the age of 31
years, it is possible that his mother remarried to a man named Muller or
Mueller, (see under AGNES JELLEY above) but this most likely was in
Australia as Agnes and the three children emigrated to Australia, probably
in the mid 1990's, most likely settling in N.S.W. In his teens, Aubrey
left home and went to sea in the Merchant Navy. It seems that he did not
get on too well with his stepfather.

He left the Navy and was selling religious
literature when he met his wife to be, Elizabeth Myrtle Guy. She was not
yet 18 years old when they married, 21 May 1918, and there were four
children, Isobel Grace, Vivien Joyce, Lyndsey Walter and Laurel Edith.
Aubrey tried a number of occupations during his lifetime, opal mining,
sales, seaman, literature evangelist, etc. but his love was always for
mining and polishing opals. The marriage broke up in 1929, some months
before the birth of his fourth and last child, but the couple never
divorced.

Aubrey retired at Terrigal, NSW, where he built a
small cottage that was to be his home until his lonely death in September
1961. His birth was registered on the 24 July 1889 by his father in the
Lexden and Winstree registration district of Wivenhoe, Essex

NINA IRENE GRACE TIMOTHYThe third child and only daughter of Eustace Bertram Timothy and Agnes
Jelly, she would have been born, between the date of the 1891 census and
the death of her father in 1892 and she emigrated to Australia with her
mother and two brothers some time after 1892 after her fathers death.
Her birth registered O/N/D Qtr 1891 at Lexden, Essex ref 4a 591
